This is a fanfiction story of a comedic playthrough of the game. This is Josh's second adventure, this time taking place in the Chrono Trigger universe (the next game world to come for Josh's part 3 will be decided soon!)

If you enjoy this, let me know in the comments, and I'll post the rest of it! Otherwise I'll probably leave it behind. I'm looking for the right place to get an audience for this, and it's all just for fun. Josh's playthrough twists parts of the story just a bit, but overall it's mostly the same game.

So enjoy (if you dare)!!!

(Joshu Trigger / A Journey Through Time)

Hoo...and we've finally settled in!

Yup, it's me, Joshua, name finally freakin'revealed. What, why was I hidin' it before? Iwasn't!!! I jus' never got the opportunity to say itor remember that I was supposed to remember tosay it.

You know what's real weird in this village we'vejust moved to, though (Truce Village)? Everyone'sregistered first name can't be more than fiveletters long!!!

Well, y'all, to live officially in Truce our nameshafta be shortened in the darn civilian register.Not sure how that's a thing, but whatever. Ioriginally considered tryin' the five letter max bygoing with Joshu or Josha, but...no! Hey, what'sthat title up there?! No!!! I'm not ACTUALLY goin'with Joshu, I just changed it to Josh!!! Hey!!!RIDLEY!!! ARE Y'ALL LISSENIN' TOME???!!?!?!?!?!!!

Sure does!!! Man, last night's sleepover sure wasfun. Too bad modern technology that wasambiguously introduced in the Hyrule story but notquite fully cemented into the minds of most of themiddle-ages-headed villagers there wasn't allowedhere. We gotta keep it in some storage islandoverseas. Whatever.

Yeah, y'all, Crono's a new friend I met here! Sureis a kool guy, but he doesn't talk much.

"You two were so excited about the Millenial Fairthat you didn't sleep well, did you?"

Well, I was all right. But Crono was up all nightabout it!

"Crono, I want you to behave yourself today! Let'sget moving, now!"

Yeah, there ya go, Crono, do ya a couple fistpumps. Wakin' up sure feels victorious, doesn't it,jus' like winnin' some battle, or other randon thing.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Crono, here's yourallowance, dear. And remember, you two, Luccainvited you both down to see her invention at thefair! Run along now!"

Now THIS is a festival! Turns out Guardia wonthis gigantic war against some Mystic things orwhatever---

"What's the big deal?"

Huh, little dude?

"So what if we won a war against a Wizardhundreds of years ago!"

Okay, two things. One, wizard doesn't needta becapitalized. Two, I'm not sure how I even knewyou did that in your mind, but just roll with it.Three, clearly I can't count. And six, hey! I'm onlyjust a new civilian of Truce, but I gotta say, it'sVERY important what happened four hundredyears ago! I've studied up on it a bit, and trustme, Guardia wouldn't exist by now if it hadn'tbeen for the battles won all that time ago!

Not this chicken here, pal!!! I mean that. Is that astatue? No, it's a cat! Heya! I didn't see yaearlier!

mew

Aw, how cute! Look, Marle, I think he wants tafollow us around. Well, the more, the merrier!

"You brought back my cat! Thank you!"

Aw, darn it all. And just when we were gettin' sowell acquainted. Bye, statue cat. And what do wehave here?

"It's a soda guzzling contest! Mash the A buttonas fast as you can!"

Mash the freakin'---yeah, never mind, sure. I'll dojust that very thing.

"Ready, set...GO!"

GULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULPGULP

"Only four can(s)? Is that the best you can do?!"

Uh, yeah...wait, I felt like you said "can" and"cans" at the same ti...nah, it must be theoverabundance of soda. You know y'all're onlysupposedta drink a couple of these per day toavoid doin' severe damage to your liver?! Andlooks like your max goes up to a whoppin' eight,fool!!! Why not make it a water-drinking contest orsomethin' else safer?!

"I'll keep that in mind, kid."

"You're awfully competitive, aren't you, Josh?"

Did I say somethin' that hinted at that?! Huh.Who knows, maybe I did. Then again, is theresomethin' odd about the English around theseparts, too?

"Step right on up, any who have the time andcourage! Our new "matter transfer machine" is theinvention of the century! To use it, jump uphere...and you'll get teleported here! It's themasterwork of my beautiful daughter, Lucca."

Whoa, y'all!!! This is a weird sensation. I feels alljiggly and partically!!! GACK!!! How'd I get overhere?!

"Oh, wow. That was GREAT!"

Oh, wow, y'all's actin' classes were sure great,too!!!

"So, how was it? Want to try it again?"

Nah, I get the feelin' that for some reason I'll beable to do it infinite times, but let's not get intothat kinda loop.

"What a kick! I want to try it, too!"

"Huh? Josh, how'd you manage to pick up a cutielike her?"

"Just wait right there. Don't run off on me!"

Hey, no prob, Marle! You already took like sixhundred years to get a cotton candy stick, and Iwas fine then too. I've learned patience like y'allwouldn't believe.

"You're sure about this? There's still time tochange your mind!"

"No way! Throw the switch!"

"Okay ladies and gentleman! Behold as this visionof loveliness steps aboard the machine! Let's giveher a big hand when she teleports!

"All systems on!"

"Begin energy transfer!"

Begin repetition of tireless one-liners that y'allpotentially have zero control over based on mahactioMarle, what the snap is happenin' to yourpendant?!

"What? I don't know, it's..."

Machine: *SCREECH*

WHOA!!! WHAT'S THAT?!

...

"...Lucca! Where is she?! Show's over, folks! Let'shead along, now!"

Y'all are just gonna leave? Like, seriously? Youreally think that was just a fake staged thing forthe show?! Ugh. The intelligence of these genericNPC-type folks, I'll tell y'all!!!

"What's going on, Lucca?! WHERE IS SHE?"

"The way she disappeared...that couldn't havebeen the Telapod! The warp field seemed to beaffected by her pendant..."

"What are we going to do now?"

"She's so familiar! I KNOW I've seen hersomewhere!"

Crono:

Yeah, figgered you wouldn't have many words forthis, dude. You know what, y'all, I brought herhere, I'll get her back!

*Picks up pendant*

"Josh!"

"You're actually going to do it? What a fine lad!"

"Listen, Josh. We don't know where that holeleads, but we've got no other choice."

"Won't they both be lost?"

"It's our only hope! That pendant seems to be thekey, Josh, so hang on to it, and brace yourself!"

Yeah, no worries, I'll hang onto this thing unless itgets zapped out of my grasp like it did to Marle!!!WHOA JEEZ, NOW I'M THE ONE IN THEGIANT BLUE CIRCLE THING!!!

"I'll follow you after I know what wen---"

*Hole closes*

What, y'all thought for some reason it'dconveniently stay open long enough for her tofinish her sentence? Since when does thesupernatural agree with the timin' of humanspeech?

What is this place?! Looks like a wavy, flashyparking garage. Is that a Subaru over there? Anda Camaro right there? Look, above me, that's aCirrebulon. And below me is a Prius! Go, tinyToyota dude, go!!!
